ibbons, pen displays, fantastic food, traveling, connecting with breeders, and walking through pens of Angus cattle has consumed my time the last few months. The Nebraska Angus Association has finished another fall full of events. We want to thank everyone who exhibited at the Nebraska State Fair, displayed at Husker Harvest Days, and participated on the Angus tour. These events would not be possible without our members and we greatly appreciate those who sign up to not only promote the breed and their operation, but help strengthen and provide knowledge and educational opportunities for the beef industry.

As fall moves to winter there are a lot of exciting events coming up for the association. On December 3rd the association along with the Nebraska Angus Auxiliary will hold a royalty contest starting at 10 AM at the Younes Convention Center. This is a new date and time, so please refer to page 30 for more information.

In 2020 the Queen contest was moved to the same weekend as the annual meeting and banquet. This allowed for crowning to take place during the banquet and display the new queen in front of the entire membership. In 2021 a princess division was added to the program, so this changed the competition from the Nebraska Angus Queen to the Nebraska Angus Royalty. With junior nationals here next summer this will be a great opportunity for our royalty to help represent Nebraska.

Following the royalty contest will be the association annual meeting. This year there will be a slight change to the schedule with the meeting starting at 4 PM instead of 2 PM. A lot of thought was put into this change and it was decided to move the meeting later in the day to hopefully be more convenient for our members to attend. We hope you will strongly consider attending to see what the association has been working on and provide us with feedback! After the meeting we will have an evening packed full of events with a social, speaker, silent auction, meal, awards, and crowning of the new royalty. Please see page 15 for more information.

Registration is due November 26th!

As this year comes to a close, another one is in our site. Before we know it, calving, and spring production sales will be in full swing. I want to remind those of deadlines for the upcoming Winter 2023 issue that comes out the first week of January and covers the sales in January and February. Advertisement spaces have to be reserved by December 1st with final advertisements due by December 10th. It is very important I get the information by those dates in order to keep the issue on schedule. With the holiday season it gets very busy at the printer and postal offices, so expect delays. I would advise anyone that has sales in January and early February to have sale catalogs finished earlier to make sure your customers receive it prior sale day.

I look forward to finishing this year and starting a new one working alongside all our great Nebraska Angus members and Angus family. I wish you all a safe and happy holiday season. Make it memorable and cherish your time together, and also swap the turkey for beef.

Sincerely, Margo Lehn NAA, Secretary/Manager (402) 760-0386 info@nebraskaangus.org

President Speaks By:

Jeff Ruggles, NAA President

Nebraska Angus Association President Jeff Ruggles, McCook 308/340-8831

Fellow Cattlemen,

T

he Nebraska Angus Association just completed the busiest time of year for the association. The Nebraska Angus Tour took place in late September in the Northeast part of the state and what a tremendous event it was. The weather was ideal, the Angus cattle were top notch, and the comradery was great. Congratulations to all the hosts and producers who displayed cattle along the tour route, it was an excellent event. If you ever get the opportunity to attend or assist with putting this event on, take advantage of it.

The association was also involved with the State Fair show in Grand Island and Husker Harvest Days this fall. Both events are great opportunities for our members to showcase their operations and breeding programs. As always, there is a lot of work behind the scenes to make these events run smoothly, thank you to Margo for all the effort put into all three of these events and helping to promote Angus genetics in Nebraska.

Upcoming events include the National Angus Convention in Salt Lake City, November 5th – 7th, and the Nebraska Angus Association’s annual meeting and banquet on December 3rd in Kearney. Our annual banquet will have a little different format this year with the meeting at 4PM, a social at 5PM, guest speaker, Esther McCabe, Director of Performance Programs for the AAA, will be discussing foot and body scores at 6PM. The evening will conclude with our banquet at 7PM.

Vice President Joe Epperly, Albion 303/884-3900

joe@wagonhammer.com

Please make plans to join us in Kearney for a great afternoon and evening.

As I wrap up my term as President, I want to thank the members for the opportunity to be a part of the board of directors. I have met a lot of neat people being involved in the Nebraska Angus Association. The opportunity to serve and network along with some tremendous Angus producers has been very rewarding. I also want to thank Margo for her tireless effort and dedication to the association. She began right before the Bomb Cyclone of 2019, then delt with Covid, and the drought of the last couple of years. But through all of this she remains positive and has done a good job in guiding the Nebraska Angus Association. I hope that everyone has a great end to 2022 and a blessed holiday season spent with family and friends. 2023 and calving season is right around the corner!

Sincerely, Jeff Ruggles NAA President (308) 340-8831 ruggles_jeff@yahoo.com

Dear Nebraska Angus Friends,

The Nebraska Angus News is in search of photos from around Nebraska from our fellow Angus Breeders! We would love to see them and publish some in our magazine and maybe on the Cover!

If you have a picture of your place or your Angus herd please send to: jcranchdesigns@gmail.com Photos must be high resolution (300 dpi or better) and at least 8 inches wide.

his will be the last Nebraska Angus News column of my tenure on the board.

What a fantastic eight years this has been, and it was one I could have never envisioned back in 2014 when I ran.

First of all, let me express my gratitude to the membership who entrusted me with the position. I have been continually humbled by the support, and for the great input that has been provided by members regarding various issues. The collective of experience and wisdom of many is certainly greater than any individual.

It is gratifying that the Association is in such a strong position in 2022.

The boards that have come before, as well as the board members I have been honored to serve with, have often been stellar examples of great leadership and ingenuity. Although I always did my very best, I feel that I have learned far more than I have contributed.

I know that in 2014 I didn’t have full appreciation of the strength and impact of the American Angus Association. Today, Angus cattle comprise 70-75% of all beef cattle in the market. So as the Angus industry goes, so does the beef industry. That is both a huge responsibility and opportunity. Therefore, the Association is continually trying to maximize the possibilities for the members, for the breed, and for the all-important segment of the commercial cattle producers.

The Association’s CEO, Mark McCully, is an exceptional leader in every way. I really can’t emphasize

enough the fantastic job he does guiding the board and leading the staff. We are all blessed to have him at the helm.

In addition to Mark, the entity presidents of John Stika (Certified Angus Beef), Kelli Retallick (Angus Genetics Inc.), Brett Spader (Angus Productions, Inc.) and Jacklyn Upperman (Angus Foundation) are talented, dedicated, and fantastic leaders for those organizations.

The numerous and often unsung backbone of the Association offices are the staff members - at every level– both in St. Joseph, and Wooster, OH (for CAB). Their functions are so important to each of us. We are the recipients of their exceptional aptitude that keeps our Association and breed at the forefront of the industry. We (myself included) take for granted how smoothly everything runs, and the resulting positive influence from their daily efforts.

What a blessing each and every one affiliated with the Association is to all of us. The next time you’re on the phone with someone who’s assisting you with any kind type of Association business, consider extending a “thank you” for all they do!

Again, my gratitude to all for allowing me to serve in this capacity. I am excited about the strength of the Angus breed, and look forward to a bright future!

Sincerely, Jerry Connealy American Angus Association President,Board of Directors (308) 544-6552 jconnealy@gmail.com

NE Auxilary President Speaks By:

Heather Smith, NE Angus Aux President

Greetings Angus Enthusiasts,

A

s we welcome the cooler temperatures, we are reminded of what it leads to, harvest, sale seasons approaching, white flakes, and new babies being born! But more importantly, a time to give thanks for all our blessings with the holiday seasons just days ahead. I think we can all agree that we are truly blessed with a wonderful Angus family and be a part of such a prestigious breed!

As an auxiliary, we are very grateful for our members and the opportunities we have been able to participate in and are excited about our future. A few things we were able to assist with this year was giving goodie bags to exhibitors at our State Show & Sale in conjunction with the Nebraska Classic, and assisting with the state queen contest. In order to do this, we have our annual fundraiser, which is the silent auction in December at the adult annual banquet. With that we are looking for donations for our silent auction and would appreciate your assistance. If you have an item to donate, please get a hold

of a board member and don’t forget you can also support us by bidding at the auction in December.

As we look forward to gathering together in December, we invite you to join us at our Auxiliary meeting at 3pm on December 3rd. We are looking forward to planning our next year's activities and would love for you to share any ideas you may have with us! We encourage and welcome all ladies to come check us out at our meeting and invite you to join our association! Look forward to seeing everyone soon!

2022 Angus Tour Recap

The Nebraska Angus Association hosted its 2022 tour on September 26-27 in the northeast district. Angus enthusiasts were able to enjoy ranch tours, several cattle displays, great food, door prizes, special interest stops, and speakers.

The tour kicked off with registration at the Norfolk Lodge & Suites in Norfolk, Nebraska. From there the tour moved north to the Crofton area. The participants were able to choose between a 9-hole golf scramble at Crofton Lakeside Golf Course, or a tour of Gavins Point Dam. For lunch the tour went to the Lewis and Clark Pulley Museum where they were able to see a huge display of barn pulleys and enjoy a fantastic sirloin burger meal. From there the tour took a drive to Heine Farms Feedyard to see a finishing feedlot and learn their business of feeding cattle. After Heine Farms Feedyard the tour moved to the first ranch stop west of Crofton which was Poppe Bulls. There participants were able to see top Poppe genetics. The tour concluded their day at Foxhoven Angus with several pens of cattle to view, a meal, and many laughs created by comedian Tyler Walsh.

On Tuesday, breakfast was provided by Jindra Angus near Clarkson. This stop included a walkthrough of several pens of their cattle. Mid-morning the tour continued to Ag Park in Columbus to see cattle displays from Frese Angus and Macholan Angus.

At this stop tour goers were also able to check out Dubas Livestock handling equipment, visit with several other cattle product representatives, and listen to speeches by Mark McCully the CEO of American Angus Association and Jerry Cassady the Director of Member Services.

The afternoon continued with several cattle pen displays at the office of Wagonhammer Ranches in Albion.

Wagonhammer Ranches was this year’s Nebraska Angus heifer raffle donor and they had the heifer on display. The day’s events finished in Albion at the Niewohner Arena located at the Boone County Fairgrounds. At this stop cattle were on display from Circle B Livestock LLC, and Scott Angus Cattle.

The LEAD conference is designed to expose NJAA members to different parts of the industry by visiting new regions of the country every year.

This year, juniors learned about the agriculture industry in Kentucky and related career opportunities.

Additionally, juniors grew their leadership skills through workshops and engaged in networking activities.

The weekend kicked off with break out sessions led by the National Junior Angus Board that challenged attendees to be bold leaders through interactive games and workshops.

Juniors also visited Boyd Beef Cattle and Branch View Angus where members learned about different cattle operations, freeze branding and how to use electronic identification in cattle. James Coffey, of Branch View Angus, emphasized the advantage

“Whether you stay in the industry or you go into something different, you will always have an agriculture background that will serve you the rest of your life,” Coffey said. “I encourage every NJAA member to leverage that agriculture upbringing to future success.”

Attendees were also introduced to a variety of industries in the state covering careers within and beyond the cattle sector. The group visited the Keeneland racetrack, Blue Grass Stockyards, Hallway Feeds and Tarter Industries. Tours provided valuable learning opportunities that showed juniors different facets of the agriculture industry.

The LEAD conference wrapped up with speaker A’ric Jackson who spoke about different leadership styles and the importance of using individual strengths to make an impact. As attendees reflected on the eventful week, former NJAB Chairman Alex Cozzitorto reminded the group of the value of attending the LEAD conference.

“By attending the LEAD conference, you are investing in learning the leadership skills that are going to put you ahead in life and help you become future industry leaders,” Cozzitorto said.

The LEAD conference provides priceless educational and leadership experiences to young cattlemen and women thanks to the support of the Angus Foundation and generous Angus donors.. - Written by Sierra Walter, Angus Communications Intern

Our Angus Family Obituary & News

M

arcia Lavonne neLson of Ansley went to be with the Lord on Monday, October 3, 2022, at Rose Lane Home in Loup City, NE surrounded by her family, after a brief battle with cancer. Marcia was born January 11, 1932, in Ravenna, NE to Hilda Wilamina Kunze Luth and George Luth.

A celebration of her life will be at 10 a.m. Friday October 7, 2022, at First Christian Church in Ansley with the Rev. Scott Harvey officiating. Burial will be at the Ansley cemetery. Visitation will be from 9 a.m-7 p.m. Thursday October 6, 2022, at Govier Bros. Mortuary in Broken Bow with the family present from 5-7 p.m.

Memorials are suggested to the Custer County Foundation to be given as a scholarship for 4-H youth.

Survivors include her; son, Randy and daughter-in-law Joan of Ansley; daughter, Debbie and son-in-law Pat Kelley of Burwell; six grandchildren Crystal and Steve Murrish of Ansley, Kent and Michelle Nelson of Ansley, Cassie and Matt Hansen of Ansley, Katie and Tanner Crisp of Mullen, Kami and A. J. Freeman of Thedford and Cody Nelson of Ansley; and nine great-grandchildren Caitlin, Ty, Kali, Kaycee, Karlee, and Kyle Nelson all of Ansley, Kay Hansen of Ansley, Kinley and Kyla Crisp of Mullen. Numerous cousins.

She was preceded in death by parent’s Hilda and George, stepbrother Clifford, and husband Richard (Dick).

Marcia grew up on a farm South of Ravenna, Nebraska. She attended a country school near her home. The school was close enough that she walked to school every day. Marcia always told the story about her new pair of school shoes and one day when returning from school she got caught in a rain and hailstorm.

Afraid of ruining her new shoes she took them off and put them in her lunch bucket then dug herself a hole in a straw haystack to weather out the storm. Her Mother said 28 • Nebraska Angus Association News • Holiday Issue • 2022

she was soaking wet and covered in straw when she finally got home.

Marcia attended Ravenna High School where she was very active in both the concert and marching bands playing the clarinet and singing in the choir. The marching band always marched in the Harvest of Harmony Parade. Marcia was very proud of the fact one year the band won the competition.

After graduating high school Marcia attended Kearney State College where she received her teaching certificate. Marcia taught in a country school in rural Buffalo County before marrying the love of her life, Richard “Dick” Nelson, on May 23, 1951. After her marriage, Marcia taught in a country school near where she and Dick lived. She taught there until the arrival of their first child, Randy, after which she became a full-time mother.

Marcia enjoyed animals but particularly loved her Pomeranian dogs Abbie and Tuffy along with her numerous farm cats. Marcia was an avid gardener and a lover of flowers of which she could make grow where no one else could.

Marcia would also grow the biggest tomatoes anyone has ever seen. Marcia worked alongside of her husband doing all aspects of ranching. Dick always said he would never sell the John Deere 60 tractor as Marcia bought that tractor with her egg and cream money that she received from selling eggs and cream at Holley’s Store in Ansley.

When the kids started getting involved in 4-H Marcia and Dick took over as leaders of the Ansley Jr. Livestock 4-H Club. They enjoyed being sponsors for the kids that went to state fair and Aksarben. After enjoying being leaders for 25 years they handed it over to Randy and Joan. Marcia enjoyed working with Melvin and Ilene Sherbeck as a clerk for the beef show at the Nebraska State Fair from the early 70s to mid-90s.

Marcia was a lifetime member of the Nebraska and American Angus Associations, as well as a past President of the Nebraska Angus Auxiliary and member of the American Angus Auxiliary.

She was an avid bowler competing in local, state, and national tournaments for many years. Dick and Marcia loved to dance and travel all over the country. When they weren’t traveling you would find Marcia in the kitchen. No one ever went hungry when she was around. A favorite holiday meal was Thanksgiving, her corn and oysters, homemade rolls, turkey, and dressing was to die for. All the grandkids were amazed at how many sandwiches she

could fit in one sandwich bag. Another favorite was her canned peaches!

Marcia will be greatly missed by everyone who knew and loved her especially her family.

Govier Brothers Mortuary & Crematory were in charge of the arrangements.

From Our Mailbox Thank You Dear Nebraska Angus Association, Thank you for your generous support for awarding me as this year’s scholarship winner. I am very grateful for organizations like yourself, that have the foresight in valuing the youth within the industry. Currently, I am a member of the livestock judging team at South Dakota State University, where I am a senior majoring in Agriculture Systems Technology.

Being part of the Nebraska Junior Angus Association has been one of the beneficial organizations I have been fortunate enough to be a part of and it has blessed me with so much. Thank you again for your continued support.

Sincerely Jace Stagemeyer.

NE Junior Angus Scholarship Winners and have participated in many contests at the National level. I have also had the opportunity to run for Miss American Angus as well as the National Junior Angus board of directors. I hope to continue being an advocate for both the angus industry and the agricultural industry.

Jace Stagemeyer - 1st place

M

y name is Jace Stagemeyer. My parents are Brent and Carla Stagemeyer where we are located at Page, Nebraska where I am the fifth generation growing up on my family’s Angus cow/calf and farming operation.

After high school, I attended Butler Community College where I graduated with my Associates degree in Agriculture Science. I was a member of the livestock judging team where we ended our career being awarded the Junior College Team of the Year. I am currently attending South Dakota State University as a senior majoring in Agricultural Systems Technology to get my Bachelors degree, and a member of the livestock judging team.

Showing Angus cattle has been my family’s sport. We have been very blessed as a family with our success throughout the years in the ring and have transitioned to a major focus of a donor/receipt program raising and selling Angus bulls and show heifers. During my time as a Nebraska Junior Angus member, I have served as the vice president and been part of leading several committees. I hope to return to my family’s operation to continue to work towards having an annual production and show heifer prospect sale in the fall.

Braden Schulte - 3rd Place

H

ello everybody, my name is Braden Schulte, I was raised between Kearney and Pleasanton, Nebraska on a row crop farm that raises corn and soybeans. Our family also runs registered black angus cattle. I graduated from Kearney High School in 2021, and now I am in my second and final year in college at Southeast Csommunity College at Beatrice getting an associates degree in Diversified Agriculture before returning back to the family farm.

This summer I will intern to finish my degree and plan on Interning on a farm or ranch. I like being on the farm because I get to work with my family and get to see the farm make progress and get better. I also like watching the baby calves and crops grow throughout the season.
